    Default Proraso vs Proraso-made at Bath & Body

    Wanted to mention that Bath & Body Works sells C.E. Bigelow brand (made in Italy for C.E.Bigelow by Proraso (on the label)) but the two creams are not identical.
    If you love Proraso Green, you'll love the B&B version's performance. Great lather with tons of emolients that make for a pleasantly greasy feeling, smooth-shaving cream. The difference is that the B&B version is much lower in the wintery menthol powered blast of the original Proraso cream. I like the difference as the menthol could seem overpowering or just get a little old as an everyday cream. The B&B still has a cooling effect but is much less noticeable.
    B&B version is $10 for a big tube just like the one that we used to get at Target.

    Good info here.
    Iv'e kinda wondered if there was any difference between Proraso and the other two re-branded Proraso products (CO Bigelo & Omega).

    I've honestly never observed this difference in the "wintery blast" my tubes seemed exactly the same.
